A056430 Number of step cyclic shifted sequence structures using a maximum of three different symbols. 4

%I #10 Aug 22 2017 20:53:11

%S 1,2,3,6,6,22,16,66,83,300,296,2243,1778,9780,20640,58428,79554,

%U 1357927400,2615206733,11358512518

%N Number of step cyclic shifted sequence structures using a maximum of three different symbols.

%C See A056371 for an explanation of step shifts. Under step cyclic shifts, abcde, bdace, bcdea, cdeab and daceb etc. are equivalent. Permuting the symbols will not change the structure.
